From 1971 to 1975, he rigorously trained as a clinical and research cardiology fellow at Philadelphia General Hospital, Harvard Medical Services at Boston City Hospital and at Massachusetts General Hospital. He additionally served as instructor at Harvard Medical School and research associate at the Arteriosclerosis Center at Massachusetts Institute of Technology. In 1975, Dr. Chiotellis set his sights on Cape Cod, recognizing the need for residents to receive a quality of care equal to, if not superior, to that available in Boston. He continues to faithfully serve the surrounding community today.

Dr. Peter Chiotellis, MD

Biography & Education

Dr. Peter Chiotellis joined the Heart Center in July 2009 following the completion of his internal medicine and cardiology fellowship training at Caritas St. Elizabeth’s Medical Center in Boston, Massachusetts, an affiliate of Tufts University. Upon graduating from the program, he received the esteemed Krishnaswamy Ramaswamy Cardiology Award for Most Outstanding Fellow. Prior to training in Boston, Dr. Chiotellis received his medical degree from University College Dublin Medical School in Dublin, Ireland in 2003.

In 1996, Dr. Chiotellis completed the Premedical program at Tufts University, where he graduated with a Bachelor of Science in Biology. Subsequent to his undergraduate education at Tufts, he conducted extensive research at the Transplantation Biology Research Center at Massachusetts General Hospital where he was an integral member of the Cardiac Immunology Group. While there, he mastered such methodological skills as the application of immunological assays and authored several scientific papers involving transplantation.

Dr. Chiotellis is not completely new to the Heart Center. Beyond childhood memories of visiting his father there as an adolescent growing up on Cape Cod, he spent summers throughout medical school clerking under his father’s tutelage and training to perform echocardiograms and stress tests. Dr. Chiotellis humbly confesses that he continually sought his father’s professional advice during 12 years of medical study and will continue to confer in the practice. “I grew up with medicine in the home. My father was the best role model as a dad and as a physician.”
